With today’s digital trends being what they are, a picture is probably worth far more than just a thousand words, right?

That’s what Best Buy thinks, anyway. So in select US stores, Best Buy has expanded its photography offerings into the DSLR category. But buying a DSLR camera can be intimidating, so the company teamed up with MKTG INC to offer complimentary DSLR photography workshops every Sunday morning in January, at 15 Best Buy locations nationwide.

The workshops featured top-tier professional instructors, including the Salt Lake City Tribune’s chief photographer as well as Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s wedding photographer. Despite the high level of instruction, the workshops targeted every level of photographer, from beginner to devoted hobbyist, by offering personalized, hands-on instruction on everything from portraiture to action shots, low-light situations and close-ups. Attendees learned how to set up their cameras for each type of shot, and they got bonus tips from the experts on how to ensure a picture-perfect photograph every time.
